Back in December I was lucky to be given a preview copy of Celebrated, by a wedding photographer I’ve been following on instagram for a couple of years. Ross Willsher is a thoughtful, empathetic and talented author and wedding photographer based in Essex. He’s also a bloody lovely human being and a brilliant writer.
Celebrated is the wedding book I wish every couple could read. It’s not a checklist, it doesn’t give overwhelming lists of things to do and buy. It’s the opposite.
Weddings are a celebration, and one thing you can always expect from a celebration is the presence of alcohol. In all the excitement of a wedding day it can be difficult to say no to drinking – but there are ways to overcome this.
Be firm in your beliefs
When you are planning a wedding, couples often feel overwhelmed and stressed with everything they have to do. You’re not alone. You might think that one drink will calm your nerves, but if you are struggling with alcohol, this is a bad idea.
Today’s wedding ticks every box for me: a stunning couple who have been super generous with their supplier recommendations, glorious florals, thoughtful styling touches and amazing images. Kezia & Peter’s wedding was out of this world! All photos by our lovely friend Kayleigh, Devon wedding photographer at Snapdragon Photography.

Have you received an invitation to a Jewish wedding? If so, it’s likely you have questions and would like to know more about what to expect.
We invited a specialist Jewish wedding planner, and English Wedding Blog member, lovely Michelle Jacobs of Elegante by Michelle J to take us through the key elements of a typical Jewish wedding. All of the beautiful images we’ve included are by Italian Luxury wedding photographer David Bastianoni.

Wedding photographer review
When we were searching for a photographer, it was Erika´s photojournalistic style that caught our attention. We prefer natural shots to poses and knew we would need someone who could capture a flying bird. On the day, Erika was fantastic at capturing the many different moments of our day from people socialising to the owl flying down the aisle. We did a few posed shots, but mostly we relied on Erika catching the action.
